Why are we serving here?

One of the ways ForColumbia strives to love and serve our neighbors is by serving those non-profit organizations who are actively working every day in the lives of people in Columbia. King’s Kids is one of the small non-profits here in Columbia that is making a big impact in the lives of children. King’s Kids strives to build relationships in every area of a child’s life, whether it’s meeting family needs, providing additional support and/or collaborating with outside agencies to provide additional services. King’s Kids helps kids to develop self-concept, self-identity, and self-esteem; respect themselves as well as others; become strong critical thinkers and problem solvers, and form a strong spiritual, social, intellectual, and moral foundation. This is why we think your day will be well spent serving at King’s Kids.

What can I expect?

ForColumbia volunteers will be working both inside and outside on a variety of projects, including:

installing counter tops to create a large space for kids to use computers;

providing electrical outlets for this same area;

cleaning up the yard outside and potentially planting flowers;

other projects as identified.

Don’t forget to wear your T-shirt!

What should I bring?

Volunteers should bring work gloves, and be prepared to work outside.

Skilled volunteers are encouraged to bring any tools they think would be helpful to this project.

If sunny, we encourage you to consider bringing sunscreen and/or a hat in case you are assigned to the outdoor work.

We encourage all volunteers to wear close-toed shoes.

Be sure to wear your #ForColumbia2019 T-shirt!

Can I serve here with my children?

This is primarily a high-skill project, and as such may not be the best serving site for children younger than teenagers.
